Since only female reindeer have antlers in the winter?

Question

Why are Santa's reindeer given male names, with the exception of Vixen, and refered to as males in pop culture?

Answer 1

Because its a male dominated culture. Somehow the story of Santa and his 8 female reindeer is not good enough; after all men would have you thinking that female reindeer could never pull a sleigh. Heck maybe they couldn't since after all its full of toys and a fat old man. So its Santa and his mostly male reindeer.Also most likley they story of Santa was made up be men, which would explain a lot.

Answer 2

It is the fault of Global warming, climate change and animal deformities due to exposure to toxic wastes that cause male reindeer to grow antlers in the stories....

not some plot by a male dominated society.
